Terrain. Nice contrast with yesterday. Still plenty of wind, but much colder and cloudier today, with fresh snow on the ground (and some still in the air.) Stark, with little ground blizzards here and there, extending to as much as a few feet off the ground.
Saw one elk leg--detached--lying in the snow. Maybe someone will claim it tomorrow.
Picked up cans from the site of a sub-moron shotgun fest (they must have bought out the entire contents of at least 5 ammo stores) while a female moose stood nearby and watched.
I was dismayed by the way the wind was not up to proper strength as I set out, so I issued a challenge, and I was buoyed by the way the wind responded to the challenge. By sunset, it was strictly rippin, like it should be.
Tisdags traning consisted of a longish run, light on O' but still some O', and mostly checking out various drainages for beaver activity. Came across one area where some gun happy submorons had shot down at least a dozen trees. They must have been so happy. Didn't see a single 4 legged creature the whole run. I'm sure that had nothing to do with the fact that it's the middle of hunting season. Day 4 of the wind storm, but at least it wasn't quite as ripper as it was the last 3 days.
Why break after 2 days of non-stop killer winds when you can go on to excel with 3 straight days? Maybe we'll get lucky and the winds will not just continue tomorrow, but even pick up additional strength!
